QUEEN VIC. ON DAY CO HRR CORONATION.
The cortege has passed, the noise
OF the cheering multitude is bewilder-
ing, the scene seems 10 have been a
mere flash Of glory, and 1t has gone.
The critical moment was when the
endless train OF csrrisges had gone by,
and the Queen came in sight. Her
cairlpgs was quits by itself, preceded
by q brilliant cslvacads OF mounted
notablee, bnt every eye was eagerly
ttraining with one supreme OBJECT
TO zee the Queen. The carriage itself
was a magnificent sight. To BEE those
six cream colored horses, each one
led by groom on the tIot, yet NOV
ing so slowly, capaIisoned most gor-
geously, and the carriage wheels sp.
parently solid CLEANING gold, was a
spectacle that no sketch can do justice
to, as a mere picture. And the Queen
eat there in fail view, necessarily bow
ing to right and lef glittering with
the Jewels and gems that seem to
have fallen like hailstonts on her
head. 1t was but passing CLEAN OF
regal pomp and glory-but what stu
pendous II flueDce it has on otherwise
matter-oi.iact folk. Enthusiasml
More tau merely thst must have in
spired this lavish ma oil lestation OF JOY
ard loyalty. True, 1t was meant as
good speed to the Princess--a charm
ing picture In her brilliant attirings-
and to the Prince, our future figure
head. And the brave, doubly
to be Welcomed German Grown
Prince--he drew the cheers
OF English sympathy-but somehow,
be IL intoxicston OF national senti-
ment or what it may, the vox populi
today gratefully celebrates an old ma.
tons old fashioned loyalty TO good
old Queen. Let US look at the scene
inside the glorious old Abbey, so
hoary, 30 majestic in Its simple hnt
exquisite lines that 1t seems descres-
ton to allow the ppholsterer to trans.
form it into the gaudy stage scene 1t
resembles. The queer old wooden arm
chair in which the soverigns for CEN
turtles have been crowned is wheeled
from back OF the sltar and, covered
with gorgeous cloth of gold, for the
second time serves as the throne OF
Victoria. Beansath the seat is the
ancient stone OF Scone, on which the
Kings OF Scotland stood when they
were crowned. Tradition (which
never lies) assures US that this is the
very etone Jacob used 10 his pillow
when he had his famous ladder dream.

INCIDENTS.


By the time the royal procession got
started from Buckingham palace the
weather had become pretty warm
and the bret se, 80 refresh
ing all the morning, began to
subside. While the procession was
passing through Pail Mall three PER-
sons in that thorouRbfare were sun
struck. A number of persons along
the route were crushed into insensi.
bility and were removed to hospitals.
The horse ridden by the Marquis of
Lorne was rPssive while the process

journey by shorter route to the abs

escort to the QUEENS carriage. This
led to a supposition that he had re-

stated tonight that be was unhurt.
1t was past l o'clock when the
Q1teN emerged from the Abbey. She.
at once resumed her carriage and RET
turned to Buckingham Palace, this
time taking the route she went after
her coronation fly years ago. This
was by way Of Parliament street,
Whitehall, Cockspur street, Pail
Mall, st. James stree, Picadilly, Con-
stitution hill to Buckingham Palace.
When the royal procession reached
Parliament street II found the Ioads
as denselv crowd, as they were two,
hours before, and in some places more
30. Along Parliament street, except
at the government offices, seats hkd
been erected and .gaily diccrs,ed.
Passing through Trafalgar square
into Pail Mall Il MONDAY scenes
were re-ensc ed. The whole fronts of
the spacious clubs In Pail Mall were
alive with sghlseers. Even the staid
members OF the AtheL cum Club were
rs jubilant as others. The Reform and
Carlton @ ubs wed with each other in
enthusiasm. A grand stand was also
erected in front Of the War Office, and
here the upper fficials took ali the
best sests.
AS the procession passed into st.
james street the Queen took long
glance and smile at an aged lady who
was at one OF the windows in st. James
palace. 1t turned out that the aged
lady was the Duchess Of Cambridge.

the procession fioally proceeded at

the congregation applauded warmly.
Ali the princefses upon the diis wore

After the royal situations had been
made the Queen descended the dais
and moved out Of the abbey, preceded
by the royal family, the congregation

Early in the morning the street
crowds began to gather, as lie the rule
here, everybody anxious to survey tho
